The Cape is blessed with many nonprofit groups. To evaluate success is sometimes best measured by the smiles on faces when needs have been met. Simple things, like having personal hygiene materials or baby formula so a child doesn't go without food — these bare necessities that so many take from granted are a priority for hundreds a families each month.

A Baby Center operates through the Cape Cod Council on Churches and provides these services and much more. To see a child cold and hungry leaves an everlasting impression on one's mind. These angels, with the assistance of many volunteers, provide an invaluable service to families and children in need. This center provides not only baby formula, diapers and clothing but cribs, strollers and other basic needs for infants and children through donations.

Budget cutbacks always happen when the need is the greatest. By giving, the recipient is comforted. They too will give back when the time comes.

I would like to nominate A Baby Center in Hyannis for special recognition.

As president of the Sandwich Mothers Club, I know many of our members have donated money, time, clothes, toys and baby supplies. We are always thrilled to do so, because we know the staff at A Baby Center does such amazing, community-focused work.

We love to know that women and families have access to such an outstanding organization during these tough economic times.
